I know of a former employee whose family member died and was given infractions because they took off to bury the family. Then was fired for not being on time due to getting caught in heavy traffic. I've been in the store when the managers were calling out the high sales at the time that were coming in from other stores in the district. Michael's is not competing with other retailers. Their in competition with themselves!
Other times I have heard the GM in a store telling custom framers to sell the product like they were in car sales. I actually asked a framer how much commission they make for frames and was told none. these people go to the effort of learning a skill and only receive an hourly wage!Usually bare minimum. I could go on but other have posted before me. They need to put this on Facebook, and other social media, other wise no one will ever be made aware of the corporation' s slavery, and I for one will not be taking my money there anymore. I checked out who owns the company. Three, private financial firms. The company was taken off the NYSE in 2006, and now only make money for a handful at the sweat off the backs of billions. { employees & customers alike.}
